Thank You For The Venom (Frerard)

12- Where do we go from here?

The kiss was electric, and when Gerard bit down lightly on Frank's lower lip, pulling at the lip ring, Frank couldn't help but let out a small moan. 

"Shh" Gerard giggled, breaking the kiss only for a second before Frank was reconnecting it, rolling them so that he was now leaning over him, his knee resting between Gerard's leg and his hand running under his t-shirt and lightly up his side. 

Gerard shivered, suppressing his own moan as he was painfully aware that their bandmates were either asleep in the bunks next to them or at best at the front of the bus. 

"Why doesn't this feel weird?" Frank hummed against his lips. 

"I don't know" Gerard admitted "but I'm not complaining."

"It's so different to kissing on stage" Frank was still leaning down over him, and ran his thumb along Gerard's jawline until he reached his chin, where he used it to pull his face up and plant another quick kiss on him. 

"It's better" Gerard smiled "we're not doing it for anyone but us."

"I'm still gonna kiss you on stage too" Frank grinned, falling back down beside him "it's my favourite part of the show."

"Mine too" Gerard was glad the bunk was dimly lit so his blush wasn't so visible. "Do you think anyone noticed you slept in here last night?"

"I don't think so, nobody was up when I got back here and my curtain is shut so unless anyone looked for me we're good" he thought for a moment before he spoke again "do you think we should tell them?"

"Maybe we should wait a little" Gerard bit his lip "I mean, this is so new and I know everyone would have so many questions..."

"I agree. Let's keep this to ourselves for now."

"Okay" Gerard nodded "in that case, we should probably get up before someone comes to wake us up."

"You want coffee, don't you?"

"Yep" Gerard sat up, reluctant to leave their little bubble, but also really craving some caffeine "come on, I'll make you one too."

Gerard did his best to act normal around the others, but it proved quite hard to sit around and chat with Frank like he hadn't woken up in his arms. Nobody seemed to question him though, so he must have been doing a decent enough job. 

Frank was receiving most of the attention anyway, as he'd brought everyone else up to date on how he had to decided to end things with Luke. Mikey shot Gerard a questioning look at that, but Gerard pretended not to notice, knowing his younger brother would corner him later on. 

"I hope you're okay" Ray had hugged Frank "breaking up sucks but it sounds like you were doing it for all the right reasons."

"At least we won't have any mushy couple shit going down now that everyone's single again" Bob mused, and then Gerard really did have to try and look anywhere else but in Frank's direction. 

Keeping things to themselves for now was definitely the right call, especially when it came to Bob and his distaste for any sort of romantic behaviour going down on the tour bus. 

"You were just jealous" Frank teased him without missing a beat. 

"What of?" Bob snorted "I've got socks that have more personality than Luke did, and as for Bert McCracken, well, he's a foul smelling piece of shit. Neither of you have any taste in partners whatsoever, seriously."

"We'll have to work on it" Frank chuckled, and this time Gerard couldn't help but meet his eye, a knowing look passing between them both that made his stomach flutter. God, what was he becoming? One kiss from his best friend and he felt like a lovestruck teenager.
